Compare and Contrast TT's and 5er's
I have towed Travel Trailers for over 40 years and just switched to a 5th wheel for the first time. Everyone Camping World kept telling me that I will love the 5th wheel because it is so much easier ...

I have towed a TT years ago, then a 20' sail boat with a early 60's Ford Econoline, and a short TT horse trailer with a long wheelbase TV. The 20" Travel Trailer was OK backing, the Sail boat, also no issues. The %$*^*&)&($^* horse trailer was a bear.
We have had a 5er for five years now, and love backing. Keep in mind no big moves, and as soon as the the 5er starts going the way you want, start to straighten out.
Releasing hitch, make sure the TV, ids not putting forward pressure on the pin, chock the 5er's tires, then back into the pin just a bit.
It will become easier with practice.
